ABOUT US

Who's behind the company name?

Westside Websites is one of the few tech companies in Los Angeles owned-and-operated by two female, web pioneering, software engineers -- Camille Alcasid and Sandra Jimenez. Together, the duo brings an exceptional level of expertise to all stages of a web application's lifecycle, customized to each project's resources, methodology, budget and timeline.

Camille started her career in 1995, as one of the first web developers for Comcast-NBCUniversal, producing nbc4la.com (the very first local TV news website in Los Angeles). A couple of years later, Sandra joined Camille as the Senior Developer for a tech-startup now known as zap2it.com, a popular TV listings & news website. Camille and Sandra worked together, once again, as Executive and Senior Consultants to spearhead the launch of e-business for top music companies like EMI, Sony, Universal, and WEA. Camille then set her sights on creating a content management system for the TV industry, in which BAMtools was born. Meanwhile, Sandra was recruited by carsdirect.com as a Senior Java Developer, where she mastered Enterprise Commerce.

"We're invaluable to sales and marketing teams, not just IT," says Sandra, "We solve roadblocks and improve efficiency in ways companies communicate with each other and/or their target audience through digital solutions."

"Our clients hire us to execute their creative concepts using the latest web technology," adds Camille, "We also enjoy collaborating with many advertising and creative agencies in town as their tech counterpart."

With over 25+ years of development experience under their belt, Westside Websites boasts an impressive client list, featuring prestigious corporations which include Twentieth Television, Western Digital, MyNetworkTV, NBCUniversal, Tribune, WarnerBros, FXX, Kingworld, Sony, and Telemundo. Looking towards the future, Westside Websites continues to make strides in being a reputable force in the digital world.

SERVICES

We implement solutions using Microsoft's latest web technologies

User-Experience ("UX") Design

We create wireframes as the blueprint for the user's experience. Wireframes determine what will be developed, as well as help scope the project's resources, milestones, timeline, and budget..

User-Interface ("UI") Engineering

We render wireframes and graphical designs to be displayed on web browsers or email clients, including mobile devices -- using hands-on codes in HTML5/CSS3/Javascript. We use the latest technology to display the look of a webpage (or url address) as it adapts or responds to each user's action.

Application Middleware

We implement all the business logic and workflow that tie the presentation layer (UX and UI) and data together using ASP.NET MVC in C#. In other words, we build the brains of the application -- the most important, yet most under-rated piece that affects a website's quality and value.

Content Management System

We want our clients to manage the content of their websites, database, or workflow in an efficient, secure, and easy manner, through the use of a web browser. Building CRUD (create + read + update + delete) applications is our forte, a task we truly enjoy.
